Worst match-ups in recent memory?

ward vs brand was pretty bad i gotta admit

but props to ward, who was on the shelf for nearly 2 years, for forcing hbo to cough up like almost 2 mil for him for that fight...he basically forced them in to do it in order to get the kovalev fight...then andre milked another 13-14 mil from them for those two fights

not bad for a guy who doesnt sell and isnt really relevant huh?

More like he milked Roc Nation for that money. Those dummies guaranteed him all that cash for some reason. I can't honeslty believe HBO would be that dumb.

To me, a bad matchup is one where the difference between fighters is more than 30 or 40 spots in the same weight class. If the fighters are in different weight classes, you need to 'equalize' them. How good of an opponent is fighter X in the weight category in which they fought? Khan-Lo Greco was a bad matchup. Khan is still a legit top5-10 WW, while LoGreco was MAYBE top50.

Salka was something like 30th ranked fighter at 135 when Garcia brought him up to 140. That was a sham.

Brand was the 40th ranked SMW when Ward brought him up to LHW. That was horrible.

Some of Ramirez' recent opposition falls into this category. Bursak was a meh MW until a few years ago, probably barely makes top50 SMW, and that's who Ramirez fights. Same with Ahmed. Dude had no business to be in the ring with top3 SMW.


Vast majority of fights people mention don't qualify for a bad matchup and are a product of agendas on one or another side.

Price vs Povetkin.

[just the facts]

Ward vs Paul Smith
Ward vs Brand
Charlo vs injured cripple
Floyd vs McGregor
Canelo vs Khan
Wilder vs 90% of his resume

And your racist agenda shines through again.

[just the facts]

Charlo v centeno, charlo v heiland, tank v cuellar, ward v brand, ward v paul smith

And what do all of those fighters have in common? You can change your moniker but it's still the same ole racist dummyshow
